It's a story you think you know: the age-old tale of "star-cross'd lovers"; two families at war; a romance, so pure and absolute, fated for a tragic end. It's a story so thoroughly embedded in our culture, and so frequently retold. Yet, nothing captures the spark, the possibility, and the surprise of Shakespeare's work quite like this....

William Kenward si reca a Styles, a casa dei Christie, per avere un colloquio con Archie. L'uomo gli confessa di avere una relazione extra-coniugale con la giovane Nancy Neele, che vuole proteggere dalle fauci della stampa e dell'attenzione mediatica. Kenward inizia a pensare che il colonnello potrebbe essere coinvolto nella scomparsa.

Dopo il primo interrogatorio ad Archie Christie, Kenward individua nel lago di Silent Pool, legato ad antiche leggende, una zona d'interesse per le indagini. Emergono alcuni dettagli sui Christie: Agatha soffre di depressione a seguito della morte della madre, una donna che ha influito sulla sua personalità.

Domenica 12 dicembre Kenward, sempre più convinto della colpevolezza di Archie, organizza una colossale ricerca che fallisce clamorosamente. Da un hotel dello Yorkshire arriva una segnalazione: Agatha potrebbe essere una misteriosa ospite...

Un articolo del Daily Express firmato dal giornalista Stanley Bishop scredita l'operato di Kenward e Goddard, accusandoli di pensare alla loro rivalità e non a risolvere il caso. Mentre Archie Christie rilascia un'intervista senza filtri al Daily Mail, Kenward si convince della morte della scrittrice.

Nella prima fase delle indagini, William Kenward e il suo apprendista, Tom Roberts, interrogano Charlotte Fisher, la segretaria di Agatha Christie. La donna offre agli inquirenti un gancio importante: la scrittrice e il marito, il colonnello Archie Christie, vivono un momento di crisi.

La stampa internazionale è venuta a conoscenza del caso. William Kenward fa la conoscenza di Dorothy L. Sayers, una giornalista che si offre di aiutarlo nelle indagini. Campbell Christie, cognato della scrittrice, fa sapere di aver ricevuto una lettera da Agatha da un ufficio postale di Londra.

A diverse settimane dalla risoluzione del caso, Kenward fa i conti con il flop delle sue indagini. La polizia del Surrey non crede più in lui. Il vice capo incontra Agatha Christie: i due si salutano per sempre.

Mentre vengono alla luce le crepe della famiglia Christie, domenica 5 dicembre Kenward arriva nel bosco del villaggio di Albury, avendo ricevuto una segnalazione da un albergo: si tratta di un apparente falso allarme. Le ricerche nell'area di Newlands Corner proseguono senza successo e dopo due giorni, di Agatha Christie non c'è ancora traccia.

Proliferano le teorie sulla scomparsa di Agatha Christie; continuano le congetture dei giornalisti, unite alle testimonianze di civili che dichiarano di avere visto Agatha praticamente in ogni parte d'Inghilterra. Kenward fa pressing su Archie Christie per capire dove l'uomo abbia trascorso il venerdì sera.

It’s 1605 in London, and Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare, is finding life a struggle. With his career waning and his patron, Lord D’Aubigny, growing tired of him, he throws caution to the wind and writes a satirical play, Eastward Ho! But its laughs at the expense of the monarch cost Jonson dearly, and he lands in jail with his reputation in tatters. On his release, he searches for his estranged wife and discovers that his own long absences and the deaths of their three children from the plague have led her to take comfort with a furtive crew of ardent papists.

It is a tale of ghosts, of madness, of revenge - of old alliances giving way to new intrigues. Denmark is changing, shaking off its medieval past. War with Norway is on the horizon. And Hamlet - son of the old king, nephew of the new - becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deception - and murder. Beautifully performed by actor Richard Armitage ("Thorin Oakenshield" in the Hobbit films), Hamlet, Prince of Denmark takes Shakespeare’s original into unexpected realms, reinventing a story we thought we knew.

Can a young war correspondent find herself and follow her heart? In this work of historical fiction, 20-something Annabella “Annie” March arrives in France in 1944 intending to write about the war. Soon, however, Annie begins to distance herself from her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival - the great Martha Gellhorn - and Gellhorn’s larger-than-life husband, the novelist Ernest Hemingway. She turns to photography in the hopes of making her own name and, to her delight, discovers that images come more easily than words.
